THE CHANNEL AOPA FILES OFFICIAL COMPLAINTS OVER FBO FEES On Aug. 28, AOPA, along with seven affected pilots, filed FAA Part 13 complaints over egregious FBO pricing practices at 5 airports nationwide. Why? Sole FBO on the field Controls all transient ramp space & fuel services FBO acts as a monopoly and possesses significant power over access to a public airport AOPA believes each FBO has failed to fulfill its responsibility to protect the airport for pubic use through fair and reasonable pricing FAA responsibility and authority to ensure airports are complying with grant obligations agreed upon when accepting federal funding through AIP include requiring their FBOs to charge reasonable and nondiscriminatory pricing for each aeronautical service rendered AOPA believes each FBO has failed to fulfill its responsibility to protect the airport for public use through reasonable and fair pricing WP Airports of concern THE CHANNEL INCREASED NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTION 50%

Privatization and H.R.2997 AOPAs Concerns: Threaten the safest, busiest, and most complex airspace in the world Create a too-big-to fail monopoly that will need taxpayer bailouts Cost tens of billions of dollars Disproportionally hurt rural America and general aviation Increase costs for both travelers and taxpayers Not affect airline delays – 80% are caused by airlines and weather There is no consensus for HR 2997 because of the unintended consequences and risks Similar reforms in other countries have led to the decline in general aviation Canada UK Germany Michael Erb, vice president of the International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot Associations in Europe and managing director of AOPA Germany: GA in Europe is treated like a second-class citizen: “We are given a lower priority over the needs of the airlines.” What's Next? Congress will be considering a vote on H.R.2997 this September Spread the word to reach out to your House Rep. GA groups will continue to rally together- latest version of GA united letter 146 groups
